Dori, Dots, and Dreaded Mondays

Darn! It's almost Monday! I guess I shouldn't complain. It is spring break on campus - I know I'll have a rock-star parking spot. I am a little nervous about returning to campus however - there are those stupid fish I am 'babysitting'. Let's hope they took the Finding Nemo "Dori" train of thought and 'Just kept swimming'... Only two more days until their "parents" return.. Please don't call PETA - but I didn't drive up to campus to feed them this weekend. I did feed them LATE Friday night... "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...just keep swimming..."

I wonder how my boss is doing. He took ten two-legged animals (college freshman) in a van to Louisiana to build a house for Habitat for Humanity. I guess I can't complain about feeding fish for a week.

On the subject of biological beings...did you know that every giraffe has a unique coat pattern? This one certainly does.

This is the sweetest card! I love your papers - so pretty together. And that darling giraffe looks fantastic. Just a terrific card all the way around. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!All the best,~Sharon~SSW-DT

Hi Nancy...first...such an adorable card!! I actually did not know that about the giraffe's spots...but I did know that zebras' stipes are all unique! hehe! Hey girlfriend...thanks for visiting my blog...go ahead and stalk all you like. I cracked up when I read your comment about my blue ball!! I was just telling a friend today about that goofy ball. But...let me tell ya, I have it prominently displayed in my craft room! LOL! And I swear, I don't know what you're talking about...because your coloring is STUNNING!! Sending warm hugs to Iowa...we're s'posed to be getting warm weather here this week. YAY...Spring is on its way!! Pat

I love stripes and polka dots together. Your card is delightful - so happy and fun. I think you can relax; I doubt they can starve to death in 2 days. So happy you joined in the fun with us this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show. Hope to see you back again real soon.

Hi Nancy what a great card I just love that image so wonderful for little children or babies. Awesome colours.Thanks so much for sharing it with us here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.HugsKathie SSW-Design Team

Buwahhahahah! College Student Quotes!

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter? No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?

Biology Major: "I had my first day in the cadaver lab today." Me: "Oh? And what was it like?" Student: "The morgue must have had her on her stomach because her breasts were kinda squished on to her sides." Me: "Maybe you should retake physics." Student: "Why?" Me: "One word...gravity." Student.....(wait for it....wait for it...imagine a light bulb above his head....the light bulb turns on..."Oh. OH! Really?" Me: "How was theology class?"

"When they put the name above your first classroom door - you know you really have a 'big girl' job"

Me: "You have on one green sock and one pink sock." Student: "Life is too short to sort socks."

"I'm too young to be this broke!"

"I love college! Except for the reading. I really don't like to read. I hate it when we have quizes. Oh and I really don't like doing research. And I really don't like to write papers. Other than that I love college!"
